Kuwait Court of Cassation principle number 1610

The arising of the employer’s obligation to compensate the worker for contracting an occupational disease. Its condition. That this disease be included in the statement of occupational diseases or the industries or work causing them, prepared by the Ministry of Social Affairs and Labor. - The appellant’s insistence in its defense that the medical condition of the worker employed by the respondent does not fall within the occupational or industrial diseases specified by the Private Sector Labor Law and according to what is prepared by the Ministry of Social Affairs and Labor, and the challenged judgment’s failure to examine and scrutinize this defense although it is a material defense whose examination—if correct—would change the view taken of the case. This vitiates it for inadequate reasoning and requires its cassation.
